NORTH MEOLS LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

TO ADVANCE EDUCATION OF THE PUBLIC IN CHURCHTOWN, SOUTHPORT AND ENVIRONS, BY THE RUNNING AND MANAGEMENT OF A COMMUNITY LIBRARY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE SAID RESIDENTS

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
